If only you guys knew... something with the affect it has only you blood vessels will give you the gnarliest arm pump. Maybe it’s different for smoking but I know it gives you gnarly arm pump when you eat it. I know a guy it happend to... Only time this guy has ever had arm pump.

Go eat a 150-250mg edible tonight and then go race a 30 min moto the next day then come tell me I’m wrong. You wouldn’t make it 10 minutes.

Eating that much would put you in a vegetative state. You could eat a realistic amount and still function though.

Maybe I’m of by a decimal place. You can 1000% still function but the arm pump really tore this guy up. And was due to the affects of the thc and what not in the blood vessels. And this was tested multiple times and the edibles where found to be the rod of the arm pump.

“Maybe I’m off by a decimal place”

“THC and what not”

Sounds like your testing is pretty ‘scientific’.

I’m not saying it didn’t happen to your buddy but that doesn’t mean it happens to everyone. I ate a 20mg gummy 2 minutes before the banner dropped at a local 100 mile desert race a few months ago...I won the Vet Expert class and finished in top 10 overall. Somehow, no arm pump for the whole 3 hours, how do you explain that professor? 😜

Just curious lol. (It really doesn’t matter either) but I see multiple riders who smoke regularly. Do they get tested? Maybe once before the first race?
Their lap times are the test

In my buddy’s experience the gummies are very inconsistent. In a pack of say 12 you could have 6-7 “good ones” and the rest be pretty weak or complete duds. And that’s consistent for all the gummies my buddy has went through. These are store bought west coast gummies.

Now the arm pump causing ones where home made (cookies). And they where more potent than your run of of the mill gummies. I guess that could be the problem right there. And the reason I’m not to sure on the mg count is because they where home made. Now that I think about it my buddy never really had any problems with the store baught ones.

Also notice how a few of us know a guy or a friend for these type of situations. Some of us just prefer to say we know a guy.

What’s the heaviest gummy y’all can get? I can only get 10 max and they’re massive. New rules making in Florida, they’re slowly getting better.

I tried to get my doctor to prescribe me medical marijuana. He asked why I needed it. I said anxiety. He asked what causes it. I said I get anxious when I run out of weed. Now I just use it to treat night blindness.

I know I’ve bumped into more than a few of our local fast guys-some of whom have done pretty well on the national scene, in sign up line in the morning-suspiciously bloodshot and giggly...as was I usually.
I’m in the same boat, a couple hits really loosens me up; I tend to ride better and not get arm pump cause I’m not death gripping the bars. That said there was a few times I got like...higher than giraffe pussy and raced, I still rode okay but good god is a 40 man gate into that first turn a little extra nerve wracking Laughing

Weed lowers blood pressure, so it was only anxiety that caused the arm pump. Same thing without weed, anxiety causes arm pump, nothing more.

So it's actually you that has this problem and not a "buddy'? I can't keep up with your story.

The point is, just because you get arm pump from eating weed doesn't mean the rest of us do. I've ridden on store bought gummies, store bought hard candy, homemade cookies, homemade banana bread, bong hits, vape hits, joints, off a pipe.....no arm pump here. Sorry about your bad luck bud!

So crazy to see people so openly talking about weed. I’m an old dude in Florida, weed has been taboo my whole life, and now, everyone at the med weed place is my age and still paranoid. You can see it in the noobs who come in.

Just funny to see it discussed so openly now.

Please, resume your discussion.

In California I assume no one thinks twice about someone doing it, we still have the stigma.

It was better when it was illegal. There’s enough dumbfucks around here that are stupid enough on their own without getting loaded all day. When it was illegal only the “pros” smoked it and wouldn’t do it in public so it wasn’t an “all day” affair. There’s a difference between taking a couple rips at home before you go out for your day vs sucking on your weed pen like Linda Lovelace every 12 minutes.

I will never understand how anybody can ride high. When I was probably 20 or so (27 years ago), weed was a pretty normal thing. A buddy of mine decided to take a few hits before practice laps to see how he did. I was just sitting there hitting laps, and I look over 10 minutes into practice laps and he is sitting on his bike under a tree, doing nothing. LOL. It was a warm day so I had to cut a little slack, but it sure as hell didn't improve his riding.

I am sure that varies, and I am sure sativa likely would be the better route, but even then, I think I would just ride slower and more careful.

I saw this go down at a race about a decade ago. It's funny because the kid was trying to get my dad to eat some of them with him, then a couple hours later the kid lines up for the wrong moto! lol It was pretty funny.

It's just the changes in THC levels that are intoxicating. So if you can maintain high levels you will actually be more on the ball than someone who just took their first puff of the day.

I liked it more in the old days too, I just realized the above when I was finishing college lol.

Every Pot thread on Vital: No way is Pot a performance enhancing drug. It just makes you happy and lazy.

Also every Pot thread on Vital: Pot totally makes you enter your Zen Flow state, eliminates arm pump, and directly produced all my wins. Half the 450 SX class uses it.
